  “What! What should we do?” asked Mahogany Mahoney.

  “Cal should battle Bruce!” Beige Bailey exclaimed.

  “I don’t think I could do it,” said Cal.

  “Why not?” said Beige Bailey.

  “Ok fine, I’ll do it,” said Cal. “Hooray!” everybody cheered. So the fight began.

  Cal strapped on his boots, pulled on his armor and the battle was about to start.

  Meanwhile, Bruce Black was putting on his armor and sharpening his claws on a stone. Bruce was also making sure that he had extra swords that were fully sharpened.
